    Motion
In summary, motion of an object refers to its movement or change in position over time, and is caused by a force such as gravity, friction, or applied force. Speed and velocity are different measurements of an object's movement, with speed being the measure of how fast it is moving and velocity being the measure of how fast it is moving in a specific direction. Acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity, and it can change due to changes in speed, direction, or both. Motion of an object can be measured using tools such as rulers, timers, and accelerometers, and through various measurements such as distance, speed, and acceleration.

If the direction of the acceleration of an object is the same as the direction of motion of the object, what is the objects motion like?

If the direction of the acceleration of a object is opposite to the direction of motion of the object. what does this mean

yes i read the replies

What quantity is associated with the "direction of motion" of the object?
 
  • #5
ummmmmmmmmmm velocity
 
  • #6
first one, its speeding up, second its slowing down
 

1. What is motion of an object?

Motion of an object refers to the movement or change in position of an object over time.

2. What causes an object to move?

An object moves when a force is applied to it. This force can come from various sources such as gravity, friction, or applied force.

3. What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Speed is the measure of how fast an object is moving, while velocity is the measure of how fast an object is moving in a specific direction.

4. How is acceleration related to motion?

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time. An object accelerates when it changes its speed, direction, or both.

5. How is motion of an object measured?

Motion of an object can be measured using various methods such as distance or displacement, speed or velocity, and acceleration. These measurements can be taken using tools such as rulers, timers, and accelerometers.
